No, just because the southern United States’ most famous chicken outlet feeds people working on their marriage doesn’t mean they are against the homosexual community. The Cathy is happy to feed Jesus chicken to anybody.

Chick-fil-A started their business in the Atlanta suburb of Hapeville, not Hateville.

Miriam Smith, a woman from South Carolina, discovered that her nephew’s Pit-Bull had been gnawing on her Bible. As this wasn’t the way she wanted her family to Feed on the Word or Digest the Scriptures she did what all sane people would do. She hung him from a tree with electrical cord and then burned the dead dog’s carcass before hiding it under a grass pile.

She told the authorities that due to its very unchristian-like behavior it was a “devil dog’ and worried that it would harm the neighborhood children. The authorities seemed more concerned about Mrs. Smith’s behavior and arrested her. She faces 6 months to five years in prison if she is convicted of animal cruelty. At least she will have some quality time to study her Bible.

What are some the excuses your man has given you for not going to church with you?

How many loads of laundry do you have to wash to get enough lint to build a 14 foot replica of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting, The Last Supper? Answer- it took Michigan’s Laura Bell over 1000 hours to create.

She told NPR in an interview that she took on this project having been lured by the $250,000 grand prize for an art contest. Sadly, she lost to a mural sized drawing titled "Cavalry, American Officers, 1921." NPR reports:

Her kids, she said, thought she was crazy when she started doing this, but then as the piece started to come together, they became believers.

Do you want to run a cute little church in Massachusetts? Jessica does too! Her strategy consists of the following:

Make a big thumbs up with both hands.

Lay hands on the church.

Pray

Yell, “BLOOD OF JESUS!”

Make a prophetic snow angel

Move to the next side of the building and pose for pictures in faith like you are already the pastor.

I can’t make too much fun of Jessica. I’ve done hand laying and promise claiming on a couple of buildings in my day too. In one case the building miraculously became a church. In the other the building was bulldozed to the ground.

The Daniel Plan, based on the prophet Daniel who chose healthy eating instead of the king's rich foods, is a yearlong, churchwide program to help the Saddleback parishoners get physically healthier. Here are the details as published by The Christian Post.

"The Bible says that God wants you to be as healthy physically as you are spiritually," said Warren in a video announcing the event. "The plan will help you feel better, look better, have more energy, get in shape, and use your body the way God wants you to."

Obesity is a growing epidemic in the U.S., said Warren, who cited statistics showing 76 percent of Americas are overweight. His church is not excluded from the figure. Last fall, he noticed that during a baptism service of more than 800 people that most of them were overweight.

There’s nothing like seeing 800 of your good sized parishioners in their bathing suits to decide that your church needs to go on a congregational diet.

The megachurch pastor promised to commit to the program, revealing that he has gained 3 pounds each year during his 30 years at Saddleback.

"I can't ask you to get healthy if I won't," he said.

The fitness plan is part of Saddleback's Decade of Destiny, the church's spiritual growth and expansion plan for the next 10 years. The Daniel Plan's launched on January 15 at 8:30 a.m. local time.

What wasn’t mentioned in the live simulcast was that Daniel’s diet was actually based on Jewish food regulations, and not about the calorie content in the pork ribs. Daniel decided to go on a vegetable and water diet only, which is far stricter than what Rick Warren’s plan calls for.

While Warren has promised to lose 90lbs in this fitness plan, the Squirrel thinks he should be held accountable to the diet by threatening to throw him to Daniel’s lions if he fails.

This blog is a *fun* attempt at figuring out what should truly be credited to Jesus, Religion, Hype, Tradition, Superstition, Satan, Oral Roberts and his Friends, or The Squirrel.

Jesus or Squirrel background

One Sunday a pastor was using squirrels for an object lesson for the children. He started, "I'm going to describe something, and I want you to raise your hand when you know what it is." The children nodded eagerly.

"This thing lives in trees (pause) and eats nuts (pause)..." No hands went up. "And it is gray (pause) and has a long bushy tail (pause)..." The children were looking at each other nervously, but still no hands raised. "It jumps from branch to branch (pause) and chatters and flips its tail when it's excited (pause)..."

Finally one little boy tentatively raised his hand. The pastor quickly called on him. "Well," said the boy, "I know the answer must be 'Jesus' ... but it sure sounds like a squirrel!"
